goodtimes in ios

the climax of the trip was ios, hands down. memories, stories, adventures, a million birds in a tree + mike's d & g shirt + mike's chest + the sailor hat= memories i will never forget. the 3 boys are now all semi pro paddle ball players, i have seriously considers becoming a paddle ball instructor in ios where i work the beach during the day and spend my earnings on tequila slammers and flaming lambourghini's at night.

ios has alot to offer...beds to sleep in, beaches to sleep on and trucks to pass out in. if we didnt see a minimum of 30 people passed out in the most ackward places on any given night, i definitly would of thought something was wrong.

ios rules:
1. your crawl/limp out of bed at 3 pm earliest
2.you get breakfast when you wake up (bacon and eggs) and a powerade/gatorade if you need it which we did most of the time (blue is the best hands down)
3. you go to the beach, play some paddle ball (teach girls how to play paddle ball aswell), take a swim in the ocean (use the ocean bathroom facilities if neccassary), take 2 minutes to dry off in the blistering sun and then apply sunscreen (you must find a beautiful women to do this)
4. you pass out on the beach for 2 hours (good way to work on your tan)
5. you wake up and have 4 options: drink, dance, swim or go back to sleep (i like a combination of all 4, but hey! its all personal preference)
6. you leave the beach around 7 or 8 pm (feeling great of course) and you make your way home
7. you clean yourself up and make your way to dinner (if you want lamb then go to fiesta's, if you want calamari and greek salad then go to sunrise, if you are on a budget and only budgeted yourself for alcohol like everyone else then your getting a gyro (2 euro's!!!), which is delicious by the way)
8. after dinner if you have enough time then take a 1-2 hr nap, trust me! you will need it
9.after your nap if you had enough time, you go to francesco's welcome shots little get together for ppl that have just arrived on the island and this is where mike and alex shine, i of course with my amazing personality pick up all of the women for these boys and they praise me like a god...don't worry guys i know your appreciative :)
10. after you have recruited 10 or 12 girls for alex and mike to choose from, we make our way down to the town square which is beside the bus stop, on your way down you get alcohol and this is the official predrink...you meet ppl, have a goodtime and this is the beginning of an awesome night :)
11. after the predrink you hit up every bar and club in town..when someone asks you where your going? you laugh and say everywhere
12. hmmmm, anymore rules??? ok ok ok, have a great time, live life to its fullest and remember why you came to ios, because everyone is there for the same reasons
13. this is the last rule!!!! can you guess it??? the last is rule is that you crash around 7 or 8 or maybe even 9 or 10 in the morning and then you do it all over again starting in and around the time frame of 3 pm

amazing island, truely a great place to visit, my liver and entire body cannot handle more than a week here and my last and final thoughts are in the form of a question...

how do you spell heaven? IOS

just when we thought we knew how to party....we arrived in ios

greece has opened an entirely new meaning to the word party...i thought i knew what party meant but then i found myself in mykonos and ios and realized that university is just the pre drink. this country is beautiful and believe me when i say this, everything about this country is beautiful. ok so how can i keep this blog rated pg-13??? i'm really not sure lol, today im at the pool bar dancing with my canadian girls who i know through yana and somehow met up with in mykonos, its canada day and the entire beach is celebrating..after an amazing pizza and a few amstels i find myself doing a version of the macaraina for about half an hr and off into the pool i was to work off that blistering hot sun sweat only to find an 8 yr old boy running around...whoever his parents are, i would like to know, can i join that family??? :)i mean like seriously, if i was in ios at that club when i was 8 yrs old, what kind of a perspective would i have 0n life today? i would definitly have been educated in tanning, swimming, dancing, drinking and a few other things.

some ppl may be wondering why we havent been blogging for the past little while...which is understandable. let me rest assure all of our blog viewers that its pretty tough to blog when your on the greek islands, its has nothing to do with the lack of fun and nothing to write.

we just left mykonos and were there for 3 long days. atv's are the way to go, gyro's are the way to go. is mykonos expensive? hells no! when you travel with the boys, we know how to get things done. for the most expensive island in greece and in comparison to many places, they might as well paid us! its all about the pre drinks, gyros and the kuwait sheiks :) the sheiks from kuwait took care of us boys well. it must be nice not having to pay taxes, free health care and security pensions with all of that oil. we fell nothing short of the VIP every night, bottle service was a given and lets put it this way...we showed those sheiks how to party....want a little preview? ..well...last night we went to the club until 8 a.m, by the end of the night, all 3 of us guys were in the club's pool, stripped down to our boxers...do we know how to live? in the moment baby!!!

no regrets, amazing memories, no sleep for 24 hrs and counting....here we come beach bums!!!

obright out!
